Abstract:Abstract. Landslides triggered by rainfall are one of the most common causes of disaster in tropical regions, characterized by having deep weathering soil profiles, steep slopes and high-intensity storms. The increasing number of landslides during wet season evidences the close relationship between hydro-climatic conditions as a triggering factor for the occurrence of landslides. In addition, the type of vegetation covering the slope affects the soil shear strength by the roots reinforcement, plants weight and… Show more
